請求、建議(Request and Offer)
特點(diǎn):表達(dá)請求與建議是四級考試中的重要考點(diǎn)之一。這類題的情景往往是談話者的一方向別人提出請求或者建議做某事,總之,題目圍繞一件事進(jìn)行展開。
常見的提問方式:
What did the man (woman) suggest?
Will/Would/Can/Could you ...?
Perhaps we should...?
在聽音時(shí),應(yīng)當(dāng)把注意力放在第二個(gè)人的談話上,因?yàn)闊o論是提出請求或者建議對方做些什么,對方的反應(yīng)和態(tài)度都往往是解題的關(guān)鍵??忌杏浱岢龅慕ㄗh往往是要附加一定條件限制的,聽清這些前提就能夠縮小選擇的范圍,避免張冠李戴。例如:
W: I ought to call Joan, and tell her about the reception this evening.
M: Why bother? You will see her at lunch.
Q: What does the man mean?(1999年6月試題10)
[A] She can tell Joan when she sees her at noon.
[B] She should tell Joans brother about the reception.
[C] She must call on Joan after the reception.
[D] She may see Joans brother at lunch.
解答本題的關(guān)鍵是第二位談話者的答語:Why bother?“費(fèi)那個(gè)勁干嘛?”考生須熟知Why bother與Why not都是表示“建議”,但意義截然相反:why not用否定形式表達(dá)肯定建議;而why bother用肯定形式表達(dá)否定建議。如果考生清楚地了解Why bother用于表達(dá)否定建議,再結(jié)合第一個(gè)人說的I ought to call Joan...就會推斷出正確答案為[A]。選項(xiàng)[B]和[D]都是利用brother與 bother的相近發(fā)音而設(shè)計(jì)的干擾項(xiàng)。
